In this "Epilogue" to the 2023 Summer Movie Season, host Garret Castleberry recaps the roadmap for this mini-series and its analytic structure. After providing a context for the summer movie season analytic structure, Garret then posits five criteria for "Why Summer Movie Season Works" as the perfect antidote to late summer podcasting malaise (13:35). Then, Garret teases a special programming shift for October (19:40), before returning to map out the hits and misses that fell within the month of August (20:15). Finally, the Critical Captain reviews his top recommendation from each month of the 2023 summer movie calendar (33:40).
